Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is

My father was a man
who didn’t talk much
could build a barn, a fireplace,
all kinds of stuff
His hands were like magic,
he needed no words
watching him I figured out
just how life works
He showed me I could do
anything I want
I’ve got the tools, learned the rules,
I get things done
One thing he taught me
really made sense:
“You want it bad enough?
give a hundred percent!”

Put your money where your mouth is
When your finger’s on the trigger just pull it
You won’t get something
when you do nothing
If it really means that much
you gotta prove it
Don’t talk about it
start working on it
Put your money where your mouth is
Nike said it right: “just do it!”

Best things in life come
straight from the heart
but they don’t just happen,
so do your part
Dream all you want,
that’s a good place to start
with dreams alone
you won’t get too far
Don’t ever be afraid
don’t be one of those guys
don’t skip the rollercoaster
for the kiddie ride, oh no!
(Chorus)
Put your money where your mouth is
You want it bad enough?
give a hundred percent!
